Seventh Circuit Anti-Gay T-shirt Case

In an opinion penned by Judge Posner, the 7th Circuit has held that a school violated students' 1st Amendment rights by banning students from wearing a t-shirt that reads "Be Happy, Not Gay" (a response to day of silence t-shirts worn by gay and pro-gay students). The opinion can be found at the following link:

Florida GSA suit dismissed

Hey everyone,

I was poking around some news stories and came across the following http://365gay.com/Newscon08/04/041008fla.htm.

From what I understand, essentially, gay-straight alliances in public schools are always in court fighting for recognition. however, in this case the judge dismissed the case because the named student in the case graduated the high school - so there is no case or controversy anymore. The judge refused to allow current students to be added to the suit to keep it alive. So now current students must start the suit over again. The original district court suit was filed over 2 years ago.......so what are your thoughts on this issue evading review because of mootness????
